Open Country: Dave Loebsack Won! Dems Won!

It's like Christmas morning over here, folks!! My 17-year-old daughter greeted me this morning with the great news that Dave Loebsack pulled off a big upset win!! How many people wrote him off? Moveon.org wrote him off, many pollsters assumed that Jim Leach would win, but they were wrong!! It started to hit me on Saturday as I canvassed for Dave. An extraordinary number of people were voting for Dave or had voted for Dave. Of course, this was downtown Iowa City, but still!
